Hi folks,

Got a smartwatch on a well know website (ali.......) happy enough with the watch, and it receives and makes calls ok through bluetooth on phones.

What I have noticed though is that for an incoming call, it defaults to watch, and if I want to take the call on phone, initially or during the call, I have to press the phone icon on the watch . I can hear the person on phone then and they can hear me.

I have a moto g9 power phone. I wonder do most android phone work the same way when paired with a smartwatch that has the calling and receiving feature.

The ideal situation for me would be either to receive the call on the phone or on the watch, depending on which device I actually answered the call on.

Appreciate any tips on this .

many thanks.

    Turn off auto answer for that device. I had the reverse on my car stereo, first pairing it didn't answer the call automatically
    but a few seconds in the bluetooth connection menu and there it was auto answer.
